   Enjoy the art you have. Wasting more thought on the slop made for others is not worth your time.

     Although, when I think about it, you might be right........... in the mobile market.

     Mobile market had been monopolized by casinos so much, that the entire platform had sufficated all the normal games are impossible to find. And the platform itself was never adapted.

     That is why gaming phones were always a dead platform.

     @LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy The only real mobile gaming is gps gaming, and I weep deeply for it. I really want to remake GeoEmpires, but make it work in background.
     
     In the meantime, https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.chadenas.cpudefense/ is neat. As is https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.westnordost.streetcomplete/ but it's barely a game; at least it's GPS-ish, so it fulfills the "not strictly inferior to PC" criteria.

     @LukeAlmighty i'm not even really thinking about mobile games much. i barely think about them as games at all. i'm talking about how insanely popular games in general have become and how many, for lack of a better term, normies play them.

     They literally ported GTA SA and Xcom Enemy unknown to phones.

     The power is there, and there was the good will too, but the app store got way too much cash from kids stealing mom's credit card, so they killed the market on purpose.

     @LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy Those fall in the "just fucking why" category. Fones aren't PCs, they don't use kb+m.

     @Zerglingman @beardalaxy
     Therefore, turn strategy like Xcom was ideal.

     When I was experimenting with emulation, I found, that Fire emblem was 9/10 of the way there already with the control scheme for example.

     @LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy That was originally designed for a handheld, so sure.
     I don't consider FE to be a very good game because it has that one fatal flaw common in turn-based strategies.

     @Zerglingman @beardalaxy
     At this point, I am not sure what you're even trying to argue.

     Are you trying to tell me, that it's a good thing, that gaming market is infested with child casinos? Or, that no non-casino AAA games could ever work on a mobile device? That ergonomics of gamepad cannot possibly fit to a phone?

     I don't get it.

     Everything else runs from "it works well enough that it's not really worse than on a PC" to "why did you even bother".

     Mobile gaming isn't about peak performance. It is about being stuck on airplane for 4 hours.

     Or going to and from work every single day for 45 minutes.

     @LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy I'd rather read manga than play some shitty port of a PC game.
     I need to fix my ereader (or go buy that trashy Amazon one that's been sitting in that opshop for the last 6 months) and set up a pipeline to shove manga onto it automatically.
